Each Person Has His/Her Own View
Your town staff has prepared some information for your review. Read it carefully... it gives you what you need to make a decision to evacuate or stay.
The memos you are about to read are written by different members of your staff. Some of these people think you should play down the storm, some think you should evacuate. You must read their opinions... then make your own decision, based on the facts.
- Tourism Director: "Don't scare away business!"
- Mayor's Assistant: "We've already weathered one hurricane."
- Emergency Manager: "Our island is at risk."
- Police Chief: "I can't rescue people in a hurricane!"
- Next Step: Decide! Order an Evacuation or Let People Choose?
